"Profiles of Courage", by John Kennedy.
I guess I can identify with following my heart over popular opinion!

Just finished "Ender's Game" guess I can also identify with being manipulated...

Sapiens: A brief history of human kind by Yuval Noah Harari.

I have been spell bound and fascinated. It is a book of anthropology but well written for the lay person. Sapiens really do seem to be the ultimate (self destructive) species.

We haven't been here long and maybe not too much longer and this book explores how we as a species have developed that way. It is well written and the concepts well explored.

Just finished Whipping Girl, managed to get a copy of Brain Sex via interlibrary loan.

It's about the differences between "male", "female" brain structure. I'd read it back in the '80s when it was new and an unpopular area of research. It's good to come back to now with different eyes - not having realized I was trans back then.

Talking As Fast As I Can by Lauren Graham. I love Gilmore Girls.  So far, it is a good read!

"A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara

Picked up from the library. It is about 4 friends in NYC and their trials and tribulations. Not sure if they are LGBT or just a bunch if white dudes, but it seemed interesting. Long at about a 720 pages.

I am  sucker for Stephen King with my favourite all time book series being the "The Dark Tower" which I have read probably the entire 8 books 3 times and listened to the audio books at least another 4 times. I am due to listen to the entire thing again very soon...

I have just started this latest one

So far we have a crazy man running people down in a car killing a number but also injuring another 20 or so and then 10 years? later all the survivors start committing suicide or in some cases murder suicide. The main protagonist is a guy who was a cop (now retired) when the original crime went down who is called in by his still working buddy because of the links between the suicides....that is about as far as I got

This is also an audio book. If you have never listened to one then do yourself a favour and have a listen. I really do like audiobooks. There are a number of trans titles also available. My eyes get tired very quickly when I am reading(due to medications) and audiobooks enable me to keep "reading" I have an extensive collection and am a member of Audible. I purchased a complete set of a post apocalyptic future series books...about 60 hours of listening for $8 and it was excellent.
